Walter Smith

The Jewish Identity of Jesus in the Gospels (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The first century CE was a time of political and religious upheaval in the land of Judea, a province of the Roman Empire. Understanding the historical and cultural context of Jesus' life is crucial to interpreting the Gospels and recognizing the ways in which Jesus' identity as a Jew shaped his teachings, actions, and ultimate role in the development of Christianity. Jesus was born into a Jewish family in the context of a deeply religious society, and his life and ministry unfolded against the backdrop of Jewish history, traditions, and beliefs.

The representation of Jesus as a Jewish figure in the Gospels is thus a critical element in understanding both the origins of Christianity and the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. The Gospels portray Jesus as deeply embedded in the Jewish tradition, yet also as a figure who transcends that tradition, offering a new vision of God's kingdom and the salvation of humanity. This complex relationship between Jesus and Judaism continues to be a subject of theological reflection and historical inquiry, as scholars and theologians seek to understand the full significance of Jesus' Jewish identity.
